The gas valve seat 41 isformed with a gas passageway 410 communicated with the accommodationspace 100. The gas valve seat 41 can be recovered to an initial positionvia the spring 42.

The piercing pin seat 20 is disposed in the gas passageway 410, andformed with a tip end 21 penetrating the spring 42. Substantially, thegas valve set 40 further includes a pad moveable seat 43 located in thecommunication hole 110. The spring 42 is disposed on the pad moveableseat 43. Preferably, the gas valve set 40 further includes a gas bottlenozzle pad 44 and a moveable seat O-ring 45, so that an airtight effectbetween the pad moveable seat 43 and the gas bottle 2 can be provided bythe gas bottle nozzle pad 44. In addition, a groove 431 is formed on aninner wall surface of the pad moveable seat 43, and the gas bottlenozzle pad 44 is fastened in the groove 431.

Moreover, the moveable seat O-ring 45 is disposed between the gas valveseat 41 and the pad moveable seat 43, so that an airtight effect can beprovided between the pad moveable seat 43 and the gas valve seat 41, andgas in the gas bottle 2 is allowed to pass the communication hole 100 soas to enter the gas passageway 410.

Please refer from FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, which are a schematic view showing agas bottle disposing status of the gas bottle installing structure foruse in toy gun and schematic views showing operations of piercing a gasbottle according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, accordingto this embodiment, after the gas bottle 2 is inserted in theaccommodation space 100 with the above-mentioned obliquely-arrangingmeans, then as shown in FIG. 3, the gas bottle propelling screw 34 isrotated for allowing the gas bottle propelling screw 34 to be raised topropel the gas bottle 2 to be moved towards the direction of thepiercing pin seat 20, so that one end of the gas bottle 20 is abuttedagainst the tip end 21 of the piercing pin seat 20 but yet to bepierced.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the toy gun of the present invention is desiredto be operated, the screw seat 32 of the screw seat set 30 is pushed, sothat the screw seat 32 is raised for pushing the nut seat 31 towards thegas bottle 2. At this moment, the elastic member 33 is pushed by the nutseat 32 for being elastically compressed, and the nut seat 31 is servedto drive the gas bottle propelling screw 34 to further propel towardsthe direction of the piercing pin seat 20, so that the tip end 21 of thepiercing pin seat 20 is able to pierce the gas bottle 2.

As shown in FIG. 5, the screw seat 32 is no longer pushed after the gasbottle 2 is pierced, at this moment, the screw seat 32 is able to berecovered to the initial position via an elastic recovering forceprovided by the elastic member 33, the nut seat 31 is served to drivethe gas bottle propelling screw 34 to be moved towards a direction awayfrom the piercing pin seat 20, and the gas bottle 2 is retracted fromthe tip end 21 of the piercing pin seat 20 along with the gas bottlepropelling screw 34. In addition, the gas bottle 2 is moved towards adirection away from the pad moveable seat 43 while the screw seat 32being recovered to the initial position. As such, a gap 22 is formedbetween the gas bottle 2 and the pad moveable seat 43, at this moment,the gas inside the gas bottle 2 is allowed to enter the gas valve set 40and the gas passageway 410 thereof.

What shall be addressed is that after the gas inside the gas bottle 2enters the gas valve set 40 and the gas passageway 410 thereof, the padmoveable seat 43 and the gas bottle nozzle pad 44 are pushed by the gasfor being moved towards the direction of the gas bottle 2, andelastically pressed on the gas bottle 2 via the spring 42, so that theairtight effect between the gas bottle 2 and the pad moveable seat 43can be remained. Accordingly, the gas inside the gas bottle 2 is able toenter the gas passageway 410 for pushing a bullet to be struck so as toprovide a power required by the striking operation. Please refer to FIG.6, which is schematic view showing a toy gun according to the presentinvention. As shown in FIG. 6, the present invention further provides atoy gun 5 comprising a gun body 4 and the above-mentioned gas bottleinstalling structure 1. The gas bottle installing structure 1 iscombined with the gun body 4 for assembling the toy gun 5.
